Baton Rouge Dining Advice

Will be in BTR with family of 4 for my son to take a campus tour in two weeks. We are all foodies I guess you’d say and looking for the best (must go once before you die if you’re in BTR) type dinner spots for a Sunday night and breakfast/lunch on Monday. i guess sort of like local institutions like Gallatoire’s in NOLA or one of the cool neighborhood places along Magazine St. I really want to impress the fam who dont know much about BTR other than what they read on google which talks about the high crime, crappy streets, etc etc. and I just dont know where to go. Maybe there is a garden district-type area with cool older homes, nice upscale boutiques, shops and good restaurants?? Just wanting them to see its not a frickin ghetto war zone as soon as you exit the campus..haha So far, theyve only been to BTR for this past TAMU game in Nov, which only included experiencing the Hampton downtown, The Chimes on gameday (standing room only) and a friend’s tailgate. Oh, and we swung by the Jambalaya Shoppe on way out of town the next day located near campus in a strip mall (nice folks and good jamb). Also im not afraid to drive a little for the best hole in the wall joint either... Any advice is greatly appreciated for a hopeful future Tiger Dad. Hope this hasn’t already been asked and answered. If so, my apologies!
